Coming from telecom background -I am amazed by simplicity of an operator's business case. As in case of telecom oeprator: x*y=z x=number of users y= cost of minute per user z= total turnover with usage ( certain % profit out of Z after CAPEX, OPEX) (To increase x, one needs to lower y is a great learning..) Ultimately -z needs to be higher to get higher % of profit Now to increase z and in turn increase profit one can increase x or lower Y Iridium satellite system failed to go mass market as they had high y and low x---bankruptcy!! Relaince Mobile succeds they maanged to increase x with lowering the y...!!! Same model needs to be used for Computing Services for MASS MARKET and this business model will fit universally and may be Developed world will start learning from us!! Hello Atanu

I agree with yr assesment.

Coming from telecom background -I am amazed by simplicity of an operator’s business case.

As in case of telecom oeprator:

x*y=z
x=number of users
y= cost of minute per user
z= total turnover with usage

( certain % profit out of Z after CAPEX, OPEX)

(To increase x, one needs to lower y is a great learning..)

Ultimately -z needs to be higher to get higher % of profit

Now to increase z and in turn increase profit one can increase x or lower Y

Iridium satellite system failed to go mass market as they had high y and low x—bankruptcy!!

Relaince Mobile succeds they maanged to increase x with lowering the y…!!!

Same model needs to be used for Computing Services for MASS MARKET and this business model will fit universally and may be Developed world will start learning from us!!

I don't think things are going to change because the leftist thinking is well entrenched. Fifty years of socialistic/marxist brainwashing has done irreparable damage. People still think in terms of "strategic assets", "public sector is for public good" etc. Even a professor of IIM Ahemedabad recently wrote that government should not be sellng profit making units. I am no economist but let me get this straight: If you're broke and you need cash to pay your bills, you need to sell your gold and not broken aluminum utensils. Right on.

It may be good bells ringing for statisticians to point out that India added 1 crore mobile phones in last 6 months, but did anyone ensure that the already existing networks properly worked? A pre-recorded voice replies to any of yur dialling which says "The subscriber cannot be reached" when we tested the networks with the other number to which i dialled right near my mobile in the same servie provider's network. we dialled from a BSNL enabled phone to another BSNL enabled one, each a few metres away, while we called from one to another the above happened. so if the condition of already existing infrastructure in the country is so poor, can we expect more? and when do we see electric lights and fans in our friends' houses in rural India? what can i do for this? is anyone having the answer? is a mindset change needed? how has it been possible in our neighbour China when it has not been possible here? what can we do? if there is anything i can do, please help me out.
